CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – STUDY SESSION
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ROBERT BARRON III, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: JUNE 5, 2024
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF THE FY 2024/25 TOWN BUDGET – ALL FUNDS

CHANGES ONLY

RECOMMENDATION
Review and Discuss Operating Budget for FY 2024/25.

BACKGROUND & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The June 5 Study Session is the 4th meeting of the Council to discuss the FY 2024/25 Town Budget.

Prior meetings focused on each fund area individually.

This Study Session returns the entirety of the budget back to the City Council and incorporates any adjustments since the last review. Staff incorporated feedback from the prior meetings, together with additional adjustments, if any, to the Operational and CIP budgets based on identified priorities or projects that need to be adjusted within the CIP program for the fiscal year. This Staff Report only discusses changes made to the Budget since the last Study Session of the City Council.

For FY 2024/25, General Fund revenues are projected at $23,001,022 and General Fund expenditures are projected at $20,774,676. This reflects a single year surplus of $2,226,346 before the addition below the line of ERAF and transfers in/out for CIP. There is a projected year-end positive fund balance in the General Fund of $10.68 million. This is a decrease of approximately $5.325m as an allocation to the CIP is now included below the line. The new fund balance amount includes an Unallocated Fund Balance of $4.45 million.

Summary of Changes Since Last Council Meeting
Town Financial Planning Model
During the May 1 CIP Budget Study Session, discussions included the use of unallocated General Fund Reserves toward Town capital projects. The Town Financial Planning Model included set aside buckets that correlated with funding toward various Bike|Ped, Drainage, Park Master Plans

and other capital projects priorities. Staff presented the Financial Planning Model with the FY 2024/25 projected budget. Identified priority projects were listed at the bottom of the spreadsheet and were discussed as part of the May 1 CIP Budget Study Session meeting. The Council made changes and provided feedback in the out years within the Financial Planning Model. Some CIP projects were moved down in the 5-year program.

The FY 2024/25 allocation to CIP is $5,325,000 in the Financial Planning Model. This allocation is a transfer out from the General Fund in the FY 2024/25 budget towardsthe Capital Improvement Fund for Town project priorities in the Drainage, Bike & Ped, Streets, and Park Master plans.

The Transfer out of $5.325 million is now incorporated below the line within the General Fund Revenues & Expenditure Summary. The Council feedback on the draft CIP is addressed further in the CIP section of this report. With the changes made, there is a net available fund balance (after set-asides) of $3,069,459 (line 42) beginning in FY 2025/26 in the Financial Planning Model.

Summary of Revenue/Departmental Budget Changes
There were no adjustments to Revenues to the General Fund FY 2024/25. There was an overall reduction in General Fund Department expenditures in the amount of $8,045. This was due to a decrease in salary and benefits expense of $8,045 in the Police Department.

Internal Service Fund Changes
There are no major changes to the Internal Service Fund and Special Service Funds. During the previous Study Session there was a question raised by a member of the Audit and Finance Committee regarding the purpose of the Employee Benefit Fund and questions regarding use of those funds for other projects, such as an allocation to the Capital Project Fund. The Audit and Finance Committee will continue to review this during the upcoming fiscal year. There is an Ad Hoc Subcommittee performing a pension fund analysis. Once the Subcommittee completes their analysis, the Audit and Finance Committee will consider a recommendation to the City Council.

That recommendation may interrelate the approximate $450k to $500k surplus in the Employee Benefits with an allocation toward initiation of the Town’s Pension Rate Stabilization Trust.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Staff provided the 5-Year Fiscal Outlook Spreadsheet and project list for Council review. Based on Council feedback, the allocation amount from the General Fund for FY2024/25 is $5,325,000.

This amount reflects Council direction.

Policy discussion by the Council resulted in minor changes and/or updates to the Park, Drainage, Traffic Safety Improvement, and Bike Pedestrian projects. Below are the changes to the CIP program:
• Drainage Improvements Program – Page 21, #56034
o The FY 2023/24 Budget included funding to initiate evaluation of long-term drainage improvements along El Camino Real $250k. The draft FY 2024/25 Budget

Page 5 of 141 ends

Page 3 of 7 ends

programmed $2.75m for the remainder of the project. The design proposal received was significantly higher than the available budget. After discussion the City Council decided to allocate $400k in FY 2024/25 for design of long-term solutions and the remainder $2.35m in FY 2025/26 for construction of the project. o The City Council directed that a refresh of the Drainage Master Plan be moved up to FY 2025/26 ($250,000).
o Funding for the Atherton Channel Culvert and Detention project was revised to include an allocation of $400,000 from the Atherton Channel District, with a corresponding reduction in the allocation from the Capital Improvement Program.

The local match is $725K and staff incorporated $400k of the match to Atherton Channel funds.
• Park Master Plan Implementation Program – Page 27, #56063 o As major projects at the Park are completed, the Council identified a need to refresh the Park Master Plan. The draft FY 2024/25 Budget included a refresh of the Master Plan in FY 2025/26. The Council decided to move that out to FY 2026/27 ($200,000).
• Traffic Safety Improvement Program – Page 13, #56064
o As the Alameda de las Pulgas Traffic and Safety Improvements project moves through design and into construction, input on future projects is desired, including potential traffic signals, HAWK beacons or other major traffic improvements for planning purposes.
o Staff included an additional $450,000 in the draft FY 2024/25 budget for the Alameda de las Pulgas Traffic and Safety Improvements. The City Council agreed with these possible improvements as future projects.
• Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan Implementation Program – Page 15, #56059 o Based on Council direction, the draft FY 2024/25 Budget included $250,000 for a refresh of the Town’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. Previously programmed projects, including the design of Class II bike lanes on Atherton Avenue and evaluation of a walkway along Watkins Avenue from the Dinkelspiel Station Lane to El Camino Real, have been deferred to allow for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan to provide additional guidance and project prioritization.

The Town Capital Improvement Program was presented to the Planning Commission at its May 22, 2024 meeting. The Planning Commission determined that the Town CIP for Fiscal Years 2024/2025 – 2028/2029 is consistent with the Town’s General Plan.

As noted in the Capital Improvements Program, there are several ongoing projects in various stages of development and implementation with funding from the current and prior fiscal years. These efforts include:

• The Selby Lanes Bicycle Lanes Improvements project which is currently under conceptual design. The project is intended to implement the improvements outlined in the Town’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan by widening portions of the improved roadway to accommodate a continuation of Class II bike lanes along Selby Lane. There are existing Class II bike lanes along Selby Lane from El Camino Real to Oakwood. This project would continue the existing bike lanes along Selby Lane past Selby Spanish Immersion School to Selby Lane, add required green infrastructure, and reduce the traveled way from 12 feet to 11 feet as a traffic calming measure. The project would also add required green infrastructure. This project is still in the early conceptual phase and will require additional public engagement based on current public feedback. Current feedback that is being evaluated by staff include: add additional green infrastructure at key locations to alleviate surface runoff, consider the addition of pedestrian pathways, and protect parking. • The El Camino Real Complete Streets Gap Closure Planning Study, predominantly funded with a grant from the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, is evaluating alternatives to provide complete street improvements that accommodate all users of the roadway including vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit riders. The outreach effort for this cooperative project has been initiated to better understand the needs and concerns along the corridor.
• The El Camino Real Long Term Drainage Improvements Project looks to resolve persistent drainage issues along El Camino Real, particularly at the intersecting cross streets that flood regularly during storm events. Staff solicited proposals for evaluation and design services. Staff has been negotiating scope and fees with the sole design firm that submitted the proposal to phase the scope to focus on evaluation and development of conceptual design of improvements, with full design to follow. It is anticipated that the services contract will be presented to Council for approval at the regular Council meeting in June 2024.
• The Alameda de las Pulgas Traffic and Safety Improvements project, predominantly grant funded, follows the recommendations of the Alameda de Las Pulgas Corridor Study. The project is currently in the conceptual design phase. Staff is initiating the public outreach effort of the project to present the conceptual layout of improvements and to understand the needs and concerns of the community. The project includes the removal of the midblock pedestrian activated crossing between Mills Avenue and Camino al Lago, adjustments to the Camino al Lago intersection to include a traffic signal, reconfiguration and signalization of the Atherton Avenue intersection, and restriping of the roadway to improve safety along the corridor. Following approval of the design services contract, the Council requested an evaluation of a potential roundabout at the Atherton Avenue intersection. The study is currently on going.

OVERALL SUMMARY
For FY 2024/25 the Town’s General Fund Revenues are projected at $23,001,022 against $20,774,676 in expenditures. This will result in a single year-end positive balance of $2,226,346 and a total ending Fund Balance of $10,689,345.

There will be a single-year projected change in fund balance by a negative $1,460,525. The negative change reflects the drawdown of unallocated reserves Fund Balance of $5.325 million for capital projects from the Town Financial Planning model.

Reserve Calculations
With Council direction, the unallocated reserve balance can be appropriated towards operational use, capital projects or to pay down liabilities. During its review of the Town Financial Planning model during the fiscal year 2024/25 budget process, the Council considered uses for the unallocated funds towards various priorities. For FY 2024/25, there is an allocation of $5.325 million for various set aside buckets for capital projects in the Town CIP.

The beginning FY 2023/24 General Fund Balance was $13,791,637. The table below reflects all the changes noted above.

FY 2024/25 Beginning Fund Balance $12,149,869

As shown below, the Town will meet its new 30% reserve requirements total of $6,232,403 in FY 2024/25 and projects an unallocated reserve that is 21% of projected expenditures.

This budget presents a plan for accomplishing the goals and objectives of the City Council within existing resources and core strategy of financial stability.

3 I. INTRODUCTION
About the Capital Improvement Program
The Town of Atherton’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) summarizes anticipated resources and their estimated uses for major infrastructure and other capital construction, improvement, and maintenance projects.

The CIP is a five-year planning tool that identifies anticipated capital improvements and their funding sources from fiscal years 2024/25 through 2028/29. The CIP does not appropriate funds, but rather, it functions as a budgeting and planning tool which supports appropriations that are made through adoption of the annual budget. The CIP is updated annually to reflect the latest community priorities, infrastructure master plans, completed projects, updated project cost estimates and available revenue sources.

Master Plans
Atherton’s City Council commissioned a number of Master Plans and studies, starting in FY 2012-13, in order to become well informed on the status of infrastructure needs.

These master plans, evaluations and studies are for the following Town-owned facilities:
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
• Holbrook-Palmer Park Master Plan
• Civic Center Master Plan
• Storm Drainage Master Plan
• Pavement Management Program Update
• Neighborhood Traffic Management Action Plan
• Street Light Inventory
The purpose of the CIP is to incorporate the results from these Plans, along with other input including resident requests, to identify and describe capital projects that will be of long-term benefit to the residents of Atherton. As such, the programs and projects enclosed in this CIP are dedicated to enhancing accessibility, safety, and the built environment throughout the Town by targeting various transportation, drainage, park, and facilities improvements.

Capital Improvement Program
Fiscal Years 2024/25 through 2028/29
4 The CIP projects were selected based on the following factors:
• Implementation of the Town’s General Plan Guidelines
• Town Council and Community direction
• Implementation of accepted and approved Master Plans
• Implementation of Facilities’ planning and priorities • Maintenance needs of roadways and safety of roadway users • Ability to improve transportation deficiencies
• Drainage facilities improvement needs
The five-year CIP identifies the highest priority capital needs that can be addressed within the available and forecasted revenue. These capital needs are matched to their eligible funding consisting of the previous year’s fund balances and five-year revenue projections identified by the Finance department.

CIP Document Organization
The CIP is organized to serves two primary purposes. First, it describes funding sources and discusses their sources and uses. Next, it provides a description of the planned transportation, drainage, park, and facility capital improvements developed through an examination of the Town’s capital needs.

As such this CIP is organized into three parts.

I. Introduction: This provides an overview of the purposes of the Capital Improvement Program.

II. Detail of Funding Sources and Revenues: This section describes the anticipated funding and revenue sources supporting the projects and programs contained in this CIP.

III. CIP Project List and Budgeting Schedule: This section provides a detailed overview of the projects and budgeting of project expenditures in relation to available forecasted funding over the next five years.

6 II. FUNDING DESCRIPTIONS
The Town of Atherton’s Capital Projects contained in this CIP are financed through a variety of funding and revenue sources. These funding sources may include:
 General Fund
 Gas Tax
 Atherton Channel Fund
 Measure A
 Measure M
 Measure W
General Fund (Capital Improvement)
The General Fund provides funding for the Town’s general programs and day-today operations. This includes Town management, administration, parks and recreation operations, public works operations, law enforcement, trash hauling, special operational programs, planning, and general Town services. It also includes an annual payment to mitigate accessibility risks from ABAG Plan, the Joint Powers Authority that provides liability insurance.

When accounting for General Fund use, the fund description on the individual project pages are listed as Capital Improvement. The General Fund includes the money raised by the local property tax for a given year as well as one-time grant funds received for specific projects and purposes. The intent is to budget annually a certain amount from the General Fund to address Town priorities.

Measure A
Measure A is a voter approved half-cent sales tax for countywide transportation projects and programs. In 2009, county voters overwhelmingly approved a reauthorization of Measure A through 2033.

The purpose of these funds are to maintain local streets and roads, repair potholes and sidewalks, develop alternative transportation options such as bicycling and pedestrian programs, and to develop and implement traffic operations and safety projects.

Page 60 of 141 ends

Capital Improvement Program
Fiscal Years 2024/25 through 2028/29
7 Measure A dollars are distributed on a formula allocation based on population and the number of road-miles. Atherton receives approximately $370,000 annually through Measure A.

Measure M
________________________________________________________________________ Approved by voters in November 2010, the Congestion Management Agency for San Mateo County levies a $10 registration fee on vehicles registered in San Mateo County. This Measure is set to expire in 2035 (25 years).

These funds help to maintain neighborhood streets, fix potholes, provide transportation options, improve traffic circulation, reduce congestion, reduce water pollution from oil and gas runoff, and provide safe routes to schools.

Approximately 50% of Measure M revenues fund Countywide Transportation Programs, and the other 50% is formula-allocated to local agencies. The Town of Atherton receives approximately $75,000 per year from Measure M.

Measure W
________________________________________________________________________ Approved by voters in November 2018, Measure W is a half-cent sales tax on qualified retail transactions for use on transportation improvements and maintain affordable transit. This Measure is set to expire in 30 years (2048).

The distribution of funds are shaped by the San Mateo County Congestion Relief Plan. The Plan includes the five (5) following investment categories:
• Countywide Highway Congestion Improvements
• Local safety, pothole and congestion relief improvements • Bicycle and pedestrian improvements
• Regional Transit Connections
• County public transportation improvements.

Ten percent (10%) of the annual revenue is allocated to the County of San Mateo and the cites of the County for transportation investments using a distribution formula that is based 50% on population and 50% on road miles (adjusted annually). The Town’s allocation of the Measure W funds is approximately 1.74%

Page 61 of 141 ends

Capital Improvement Program
Fiscal Years 2024/25 through 2028/29
8 of the City/County distribution, which is projected to be approximately $145,000.

The Town may use Measure W funds for street paving and pothole repair, bicycle/pedestrian safety projects, promoting alternative modes of transportation, planning and implementing traffic and safety projects including signal coordination, and implementing advanced technologies and communications of the roadway system.

Gas Tax
Atherton receives a formula allocation of funds based upon population and lane miles. In FY 2024-25 the Town will receive approximately $195,000 in regular Gas Tax revenues. This amount is augmented with additional revenues from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1). Effective November 1, 2017, the gasoline excise tax was increased 12 cents per gallon and the excise tax on diesel was increased 20 cents per gallon. SB 1 also increased the vehicle registration tax effective January 1, 2018 and an additional vehicle registration tax will be applied to zero emission vehicles effective July 1, 2020. As a result, the total Gas Tax allocations to the Town is expected to be approximately $360,000 in FY 2024/25.

With the proposed funding through the Capital Improvements Program, the Town will be able to achieve the Maintenance of Effort requirements to continue to receive SB1 funds.

Atherton Channel Fund
Fees collected by the Town to finance drainage and related improvements/ repairs and environmental monitoring for those portions of the Channel for which the Town is responsible.

Project Name: Road Maintenance Program - #56003
Project Description: This is an annual program
combining patching, sealing and overlays to maintain
roads in a cost-effective manner. Every two years, an
engineering survey of pavement condition is performed
by independent assessors, who determine a pavement
condition index (PCI) and also recommends specific
maintenance strategies for each road. Staff analyzes the data, conducts physical inspections, and recommends an
annual program to cost-effectively maintain roads. The
funds proposed for this program include the allocation of SB-1, Gas Tax, Measures A, M and W, and Capital Improvement Funds in the amount of $1,455,000 for FY 2024/25. Funds associated with the Roadway Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) approved through SB-1 in 2017 are subject to maintenance of effort requirements which is supported by the proposed Capital Improvement funds in the current and future years.

The streets are to be determined based on their PCI index listing when it comes out in November along with visual assessments and other priorities. Special attention will be paid the Town’s roadside drainage systems to ensure that the edges of pavement do not create situations that could be hazardous to pedestrians or impede drainage.
• Two-inch grind and overlay (on various streets throughout Town) – estimate $850,000 • Maintenance Dig-outs (on various streets throughout Town) – estimate $360,000 • Cape Seal/Slurry Seal (on various streets throughout Town) – estimate $370,000

Recently, the public comment period has been utilized by members of the public using the opportunity for public comment to share information and opinion often unrelated to Town subjectmatter jurisdiction. In addition, some have loosely connected their public comments to the Town by asking the Council to adopt a resolution, ordinance, or proclamation in support of their opinion.

In both cases, the comments provided related to items that were not on the Council agenda. The Council asked that staff provide a recommendation regarding management of public comment.

ANALYSIS
There are three (3) policy documents used by the Town to prescribe policy related to the provision of public comments at a Council meeting – the City Council Handbook, Rules of Procedure, and Agenda.

Section 6.13 of the City Council Handbook reads as follows:

6.13 Public Comments
Persons wishing to address the Council on any matter within the jurisdiction of the Town and not on the posted agenda are invited to do so during the Public Comment portion of the meeting. This period is limited three minutes per person. The Council is not able to undertake extended discussion of or act on non-agendized items. Such items can be referred to staff for appropriate action, which may include placement on a future agenda. (Emphasis added) Section 4.2 of the City Council Rules of Procedure reads as follows:

JUNE 5, 2024

Page 2 of 4 ends

4.2 Public Comments
During Public Comments at a regular meeting, any person may address the Council, provided that the item (1) is of interest to the public and is within the subject-matter jurisdiction of the Council; and (2) is not otherwise on the agenda. Public Comments at special meetings shall be confined to the items for consideration on the agenda.

The restriction to items for consideration on the agenda for special meetings is a provision within the Brown Act.

The posted agenda for public comments reads as follows (for regular meetings):

This portion of the meeting is reserved for persons wishing to address the Council on any matter not on the Agenda that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council. State law prohibits the Council from acting on items not listed on the Agenda except by special action of the City Council under specified circumstances. Speakers’ time is limited to three minutes.

Additionally, the public may address the Council on any subject listed on the Consent and Regular Agenda. (Emphasis added)
Council Authority
The courts interpret the right to public comment broadly with respect to what is considered of public interest and subject-matter jurisdiction of the Town. However, the Council can place reasonable time restrictions on public comment as well as enforce rules of decorum. This includes limits on individual speaker time as well as total time permitted for public comment. In doing so, the regulations must be enforced fairly and without regard to a speakers’ viewpoint.

The Council also has the discretion to modify its regulations regarding time limits if necessary.

For example, the time limits could be shortened to accommodate a lengthy agenda or lengthened to allow additional time for discussion on a complicated matter. When doing so, such changes must be applied fairly and should be done at the beginning of the agenda item or meeting. The Council cannot, for example, limit one speaker to three minutes and allow another to speak for five when speaking to the same item or during public open time.

The Council can generally limit public comment for items on the agenda to three minutes and public comment for items not on the agenda to two minutes. Keep in mind, however, that monitoring the time will fall to the City Clerk and there will be a technology setup period for the countdown clock to be reset for two minutes versus three minutes between speakers.

Recommended Changes
For general policy changes, staff recommends that the specific times be stated on the agenda versus in the underlying policy and that Policy 6.13 and Policy 4.2 be revised to read identically as follows:

At Regular Meetings, persons wishing to address the Council on any non-agendized item that is within the subject-matter jurisdiction of the Town may do so during the Page 94 of 141 Consideration of Speaker Time for Public Comments
JUNE 5, 2024

Page 3 of 4 ends

Public Comment portion of the meeting. At Special Meetings, public comments are limited to agendized items. The posted agenda prescribes the time limits for public comment. The Council is not able to undertake extended discussion of or act on non-agendized items. Such items can be referred to staff for appropriate action, which may include placement on a future agenda.

For the posted agenda, staff recommends that the Council consider the following:

The Public Comment portion of the meeting is reserved for persons wishing to address the Council on matters listed on the posted agenda as well as any matter not on the posted agenda that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council. State law prohibits the Council from acting on items not listed on the posted agenda except by special action of the City Council under specified circumstances. Speaker time for items not on the posted agenda is limited to two minutes. Speaker time for items on the agenda is limited to three minutes. The Mayor may, at their discretion, restrict or grant additional speaker time based on such considerations as agenda length, volume of speakers, complexity of the item, or looming threat of loss of quorum. Please refer to the footnote at the end of the posted agenda for additional notice regarding public comments.

The footnote at the end of the posted agenda reads:

The Town of Atherton Council and Committee or Commission meetings are a limited public forum, and all public comments must relate to something that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Council or Committees. If comments do not relate to the subject matter jurisdiction of the Council or Committee, the Town reserves the right to stop the comment and a warning may be provided. If the comment continues to be outside of the subject matter jurisdiction the speaker will be stopped, and we will move on to the next speaker.

Additional verbiage could be added to the footnote, if desired, and could include:

Rules of Decorum – No person participating in a public meeting shall engage in disorderly or boisterous conduct — including but not limited to applause, whistling, feet stamping, booing or making any loud, threatening, profane, abusive, personal, impertinent or slanderous uttering or comments. No person is allowed to disturb, disrupt, or otherwise impede the orderly conduct of the meeting.

If any person continues to breach the Rules of Decorum in a manner that disturbs, disrupts or otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of the meeting following an order from the Mayor, or Presiding Officer, to cease the offending conduct, the Mayor, or Presiding Officer, may order that person to leave the meeting.

Staff recommends that the Council discuss the preceding and provide staff with direction. Any changes that require incorporation into the City Council Handbook or Rules of Procedure will be incorporated and the Handbook/Rules will be returned to the Council for review and adoption at a future meeting. Presently, the July 3 Study Session is slated as an opportunity for annual review of the Handbook and Rules of Procedure.

Item No. 3
Town of Atherton
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – STUDY SESSION
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 5, 2024
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION OF CHARTER CITY STATUS

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council review and discuss the pursuit of Charter City status and provide direction to staff.

BACKGROUND
Cities generally obtain their powers from the California Constitution, which provides that "a city may make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws." This is commonly known as the "police power." A city's police power may be preempted by federal or state laws.

There are two types of cities in California: general law cities and charter cities. General law must comply with the constitution and all state laws. A charter city's power comes from the constitution, however, this power is also limited by the charter itself and may only extend to matters concerning municipal affairs. A charter is a voter approved document and may only be amended by voter approval.

Atherton is a general law city. General Law cities are bound by the State’s general law, even with respect to municipal affairs. As of 2020, of California’s 482 cities, 125 are charter cities (most large – but some small).

ANALYSIS
In early 2015, the City Council discussed a Report from a Council Subcommittee discussing the pros and cons of becoming a charter city. That Report is attached as Attachment 1. Following discussion, the Council declined to move forward with pursuit of becoming a charter city.

Consideration was raised again in 2017 during discussions of revenue alternatives as a charter city can pursue a property transfer tax. Again, following discussion, the Council ultimately decided not to pursue a transition to charter city.

Charter City Discussion and Direction
JUNE 5, 2024

Page 2 of 4 ends

The attached 2015 Staff Report and Memorandum outlines the various pros and cons of becoming a charter city. Also attached is a Handout from the League of California Cities (Attachment 2) and a General Information Workbook on Charter Cities (Attachment 3). These provide a general overview of the various issues over which charter cities govern.

However, while charter cities have retained local control in many areas – municipal election matters, procedures for adopting ordinances, compensation of local officials, local contracting and finance, term limits, some land use and zoning decisions, etc. – there are many areas that have been eroded by the State. In these areas, the State has usurped local control by deeming issues “matters of Statewide concern”. These include vehicle and traffic regulation, licensing of trades and professions, school systems, open and public meetings, the power of eminent domain, tort claims, etc. – but most recently, the issue of surplus lands has been declared to be matters of statewide importance and therefore applicable to charter cities For Atherton, because the Town is nearly 100% residential, single-family, the Town’s most important issue for local control is land use and zoning. While the other areas of local control (elections, term limits, finance, contracting, etc.) are important, the Town and State are generally aligned within the State's regulatory framework. The current 6th Cycle Housing Element Update has placed the Town at odds with the State’s affordable housing priorities as it forces the Town to reconsider its single-family residential zoning and 1-acre parcels to conform to the State’s vision for addressing affordable housing needs throughout the region and the State. Instead of leaving the solution to local control, the State is imposing land use and zoning directives through the adoption of State law that applies to all jurisdictions regardless of their status of general law or charter. By deeming the law “matters of Statewide concern” and adopting the appropriate findings thereto, the State has eroded local control and weakened the Town’s escape hatch to the imposition of State regulation in the land use and zoning arena.

However, recently a few jurisdictions in southern California challenged the State’s imposition of Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) to charter cities. The legal rationale was that although the State deemed adoption of SB 9 a matter of Statewide concern with respect to affordable housing, it failed to make the requisite findings connecting SB 9 to affordable housing objectives making it applicable to charter cities. The legal win only applies to those small number of charter city jurisdictions in the legal challenge; however, through appeal, the judgment could either be affirmed for all charter cities or denied and made applicable to charter cities within the second district court of appeal, but likely persuasive in the first district, where Atherton lays. Additionally, the State could opt to adopt a legislative fix and make the requisite findings required to make it applicable to charter cities going around the legal challenge. In any event, either solution would likely not occur before the Town's due date for its Housing Element submittal.

This decision has prompted a return of discussion of the value of becoming a charter city. The item is on today’s agenda to allow the Council the opportunity to discuss and provide direction to staff regarding pursuit of becoming a charter city.

Attachment 4 is the Government Code section(s) related to becoming a charter city. It brief, the process – if pursued by the City Council – is the conduct of noticed public hearings and submission to the electorate at a General Municipal Election (GME). There is insufficient time to bring the issue to the voters at the 2024 GME. However, if the Council is desirous of pursuing the issue, it Page 98 of 141 Charter City Discussion and Direction
JUNE 5, 2024

Page 3 of 4 ends

could be raised for the 2026 GME. Charters can be simplistic (as shown in Attachment 5) or far more detailed (such as the draft charter from the Council Subcommittee in 2013 – Attachment 6).

Much like with General Plans, when adopting local law, the Town would need to ensure that anything adopted is consistent with not only the General Plan but also any Charter provisions enacted by the Town. Any modifications (large or small) to a local charter are required to be sent to the electorate. Each municipal election can cost between $15,000 and $40,000 depending on the number of election jurisdictions participating in the GME and the number of measures.

The Town uses the provisions of SB 9 to account for 48 of the 348 total units produced for the 6th Cycle Housing Element Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). If the Town were to become a charter city and SB 9 remained inapplicable to charter cities, the Town would need to specifically address consideration of the land use measure via a local ordinance or identify a source to produce an additional 48 units for the 6th Cycle Housing Element RHNA.

As noted above, the final resolution of SB 9’s applicability to all charter cities is still undetermined.

The State has not yet advised that they will appeal and the legislature has not yet proposed a legislative fix. It is anticipated that the SB 9 issue will resolve one way or the other before 2026.

Consideration of becoming a charter city solely on the basis of not allowing SB 9 to apply locally may not be worthwhile.

FISCAL IMPACT
None at this time.

SUBJECT: CHARTER CITY AD-HOC COMMITTEE DISCUSSION

RECOMMENDATION
Review and discuss the Charter City Ad-Hoc Committee.

BACKGROUND
In 2012, an ad-hoc committee was established to discuss the pros and cons of a charter city. The ad-hoc committee met and the City Attorney developed a memorandum on Charter City benefits which included a list of several pages that highlight some of the contrasting features of the two forms of governance – Charter City and General Law. The list is attached for review.

As advised at the January City Council meeting, the City Council should review the work of the ad-hoc committee; provide direction to the committee for future effort; and/or decide not to continue the work of the ad-hoc committee.

MEMO FROM CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
TO: City Manager
FROM: City Attorney
DATE: April 8, 2013
SUBJECT: Charter City Benefits
The fundamental distinction between a charter city and a general law city is simply the issue of whether or not “home rule” is better for a municipality or whether the governing laws should be those established by the State legislature.

The basic premise upon which charter cities function is that they possess supreme powers over “municipal affairs”, and in such matters the local agency can do anything that is constitutional and not a matter of statewide concern. Determining whether something is a municipal affair or a matter preempted by the state is made on a case-by-case basis by the courts, not the legislature.

It should be first noted that the charter acts as the city’s constitution and is said to operate as a limitation on powers, not a grant of them. In essence the municipality has authority over much of what it does, and the charter acts to constrain that power in ways that reflect local mores, values, and concepts of good government.

Both general law and charter cities share some of the same authority to regulate so-called “police powers” generally with respect to the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community. However, the scope of these powers in charter cities is much greater, and those in general law cities can be totally constrained by the legislature in its infinite wisdom.

Where charter cities have greater authority with respect to home rule is in dealing with municipal affairs. The list is fluid and changes as charter cities expand their creation of local regulations, and I have attached several pages that highlight some of the contrasting features of the two forms of governance. Generally speaking, charter cities possess greater authority over such areas as municipal elections, procedures for initiative, Town of Atherton

Page 102 of 141 ends

referendum and recall, procedures for adoption of ordinances, compensation of officers and employees, procedures relating to city contracts, the financing of public improvements, the making of charitable gifts of public funds, establishing term limits for local officers, and in creating land use and zoning legislation although with many exceptions.

The areas where charter cities do not have plenary authority include school systems, traffic and vehicle regulation, sale of alcoholic beverages, licensing of members of a trade or profession, tort claims against government entities, open and public meeting regulations, and exercising the power of eminent domain. These are areas where the state has elected to occupy the field totally and preempt local control, but these are not areas that appear to be primary concerns for the Town of Atherton.

The issue of local control over local government is the basic distinction between the two types of city government. That said, it is important that the charter itself accurately reflect the pulse of the community. A charter that fails to provide citizens with effective and appropriate controls over their local legislative officials is doomed to failure; while one that protects local values while allowing the elected officials to govern based on community values will be well received and give the citizens a more effective and responsive government.

Obviously this is a very broad overview, and I leave you with the examples of some areas where differences have developed in the attached document from the League of CA Cities. I remain available if you have any questions.

Public Contracts Competitive bidding required for public works contracts over $5,000. Cal. Pub. Cont. Code
§ 20162. Such contracts must be awarded to
the lowest responsible bidder. Pub. Cont.

Code § 20162. If city elects subject itself to
uniform construction accounting procedures,
less formal procedures may be available for
contracts less than $100,000. See Cal. Pub.

Cont. Code §§ 22000, 22032.

Contracts for professional services such as
private architectural, landscape architectural,
engineering, environmental, land surveying,
or construction management firms need not
be competitively bid, but must be awarded
on basis of demonstrated competence and
professional qualifications necessary for the
satisfactory performance of services. Cal.

Gov't Code § 4526.

Not required to comply with bidding statutes
provided the city charter or a city ordinance
exempts the city from such statutes, and the
subject matter of the bid constitutes a
municipal affair. Pub. Cont. Code § 1100.7;
see R & A Vending Services, Inc. v. City of
Los Angeles, 172 Cal. App. 3d 1188 (1985);
Howard Contracting, Inc. v. G.A. MacDonald
Constr. Co., 71 Cal. App. 4th 38 (1998).

Payment of Prevailing
Wages
In general, prevailing wages must be paid on
public works projects over $1,000. Cal. Lab.

Code § 1771. Higher thresholds apply
($15,000 or $25,000) if the public entity has
adopted a special labor compliance program.

See Cal. Labor Code § 1771.5(a)-(c).

Historically, charter cities have not been
bound by state law prevailing-wage
requirements so long as the project is a
municipal affair, and not one funded by state
or federal grants. Vial v. City of San Diego,
122 Cal. App. 3d 346, 348 (1981). However,
there is a growing trend on the part of the
courts and the Legislature to expand the
applicability of prevailing wages to charter
cities under an analysis that argues that the
payment of prevailing wages is a matter of
statewide concern. The California Supreme
Court currently has before them a case that
will provide the opportunity to decide
whether prevailing wage is a municipal affair
or whether it has become a matter of
statewide concern.

Introduction
Charter Cities
Did you know that, under certain home rule provisions in California's state constitution, voters can exercise a greater degree of local control than that provided by the California Legislature? Becoming a charter city allows voters to determine how their city government is organized and, with respect to municipal affairs, enact legislation different than that adopted by the state.

In 2001, the Institute for Local Government, the League's research arm, teamed up with the Hastings Public Law Research Institute to create an informational resource for those interested in understanding more about this special form of local control. The League is grateful to everyone who helped with this project including Phillip Hall of UC Hastings and the Hastings Public Law Research Institute; Karl Berger of Jenkins & Hogin LLP; Betsy Strauss (Attorney at Law); John Cook (Former City Attorney, Indian Wells); and Harvey Levine (City Attorney, Fremont). In 2007, the League updated these resources and the new documents can be found below. The League would like to thank Hilda Cantú Montoy (Attorney at Law) for her help with the update.

Charter Cities: A Quick Summary for the Press and Researchers The following summary was drafted by the League of California Cities’ legal staff, in an attempt to give the press and research communities a primer on some frequently asked questions regarding charter cities.

Charter Cities vs. General Law Cities – The Basics

The California Constitution gives cities the power to become charter cities.1 The benefit of becoming a charter city is that charter cities have supreme authority over “municipal affairs.”2 In other words, a charter city’s law concerning a municipal affair will trump a state law governing the same topic.3

Cities that have not adopted a charter are general law cities. General law cities are bound by the state’s general law, even with respect to municipal affairs. Of California’s 478 cities, 108 of them are charter cities.

The charter city provision of the State Constitution, commonly referred to as the “home-rule” provision, is based on the principle that a city, rather than the state, is in the best position to know what it needs and how to satisfy those needs.4 The home-rule provision allows charter cities to conduct their own business and control their own affairs.5 A charter maximizes local control.

A city charter, in effect a city’s constitution, need not set out every municipal affair the city would like to govern. So long as the charter contains a declaration that the city intends to avail itself of the full power provided by the California Constitution, any city ordinance that regulates a municipal affair will govern over a general law of the state.6

Defining ‘Municipal Affairs’
Determining what is and is not a “municipal affair” is not always straightforward. The California Constitution does not define “municipal affair.” It does, however, set out a nonexclusive list of four “core” ATTACHMENT 4

Page 1 of 18 ends

Page 110 of 141 ends

Information from the nonpartisan California League of Cities:
http://www.cacities.org/chartercities
categories that are, by definition, municipal affairs.7

These categories are 1) regulation of the “city police force”; 2) “subgovernment in all or part of a city”; 3) “conduct of city elections”; and 4) “the manner in which . . . municipal officers [are] elected.”8 Beyond this list, it is up to the courts to determine what is and is not a municipal affair.

To determine if a matter is a municipal affair, a court will ask whether there are good reasons, grounded on statewide interests, for the state law to preempt a local law.9 In other words, courts will ask whether there is a need for “paramount state control” in the particular area of law.10 The Legislature’s intent when enacting a specific law is not determinative.11
The concept of “municipal affairs” is fluid and may change over time.12 Issues that are municipal affairs today could become areas of statewide concern in the future.13 Nonetheless, there are some areas that courts have consistently classified as municipal affairs. These include:

• Municipal election matters14
• Land use and zoning decisions (with some exceptions)15 • How a city spends its tax dollars16
• Municipal contracts, provided the charter or a city ordinance exempts the city from the Public Contract Code, and the subject matter of the bid constitutes a municipal affair.17 Thus, a charter may exempt a city from the State’s competitive bidding statutes.

Likewise, there are some areas that courts have consistently classified as areas of statewide concern, including:

• Traffic and vehicle regulation18
• Tort claims against a governmental entity19
• Regulation of school systems20

How to Become a Charter City
To become a charter city, a city must adopt a charter. There are two ways to adopt a charter:

• The city’s voters elect a charter commission.21 The commission has the responsibility of drafting and debating the charter.

• The governing board of the city, on its own motion, drafts the charter.22

In either case, the charter is not adopted by the city until it is ratified by a majority vote of the city's voters.23
